The {Busy Box}

Since Summer Vacay is almost over...I changed our Summer Fun Bucket into The Busy Box.

I filled it with a whole lotta things...!

Re-did the vinyl around the container.

The picture above has:

Fish Bowls {they can put fish stickers or draw their own fish and plant life inside the bowl die cuts}

Letter P {glue puzzle pieces onto letter Pp's}

Manilla folder has worksheets {practicing cutting, colors, shapes, numbers, alphabets, etc}

Bean Bags

Numbers Book {everything is cut out and ready, they just need to glue the numbers in order and study}

Alphabet Book {everything is cut, they just need to color the book and have it stapled}

The picture above has:

Manilla folder with Lady Bug Paper Dolls {they need to cut and play with}

Sight Word Flashcards

Clocks

Sticker Collage {put lots of different stickers on pieces of paper}

Ocean Collage {has whale, crab, and sand dollar die cuts....also has sea shells. They just need to glue onto paper}

Bug Wands {they have to ask Mom for puff paint to decorate}
The above picture has:

Lace-ups {cut shapes from Cricut, laminated, hole punched and tied a piece of yarn to}

Crowns {cut Crowns from Cricut...they just need to glue jewels}

Days of the Week Flashcards

Shapes and Colors Book {they just need to color and read}

Puppets {has paper bags, googly eyes, felt, pipecleaners, etc.}

Manilla folder that says "Mom, look what I did!" {so they can put finished projects inside}

So, there you go....for now! I had so many ideas that I thought I would just fill it as we need to or if they need help in an area.

I did not put basic art supplies in it such as glue, tape, scissors, construction paper, paint. It would take up too much room. Our rule is to ask Mom if they can use one of the things and if I say yes, they can go get the art supplies out of our art cabinet that goes with the project. Each project also has the directions on a blue Post-It inside the bag/manilla folder. Little kids have to ask Mom or big bro or big sis since they can't read.

I started off with this....then I'll get a feel for what the kiddos really like and want more of...! I've been wanting to do a Writing Corner in their playroom. Maybe I'll just incorporate some more writing activities into here?

Right now, I know I need to make more lace-up's. The girls love "sewing!"
